Not actually using vram, only ram.

Hi, I have noticed that the application is still using your typical system ram. Not the vram. (This is from radeon vii)

Apparently OpenCL support is currently broken and this will only work with nVidia GPU's at the moment which still works perfectly fine even on the latest nVidia GPU's. This hasn't been update in a couple years so you might be out of luck with AMD support unfortunately.

It works in my testing, but you are limited to 4GB.

Works fine for me on my 10-year-old system.

This only happens for me when the computer returns from sleep. When that happens GpuRamDrive is moved to consuming RAM instead.

This jumps to whatever amount of vram I had set before sleep.
